crb checks. i'm bricking it.

[Arriba]

anyone know about these?
i'm having one done through my work as i will have to go into an airport as part of my job soon.i need a pass to gain access, so checks are being done.
 i was a naughty boy years ago and have had a few court appearances for different things and have 5 convictions.
i think i had 1 conviction when i got my job and totted up a few more in the firsts couple of years there.i've never told them anything about any of it.

aint been in trouble for 14-15 years now and am a reformed character(well sort of anyway)
do i need to be worried about what my employers will find out?what info will they be given etc?

I do them all the time with the lads that work for me.

I thought whether a crime is eventually marked as spent or not (and how long it is before it is) depends on the crime. Not sure of the details but I read something on it recently which suggested that.

But even if a crime is spent the Police still keep a record of it: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/8314032.stm

Not sure what information they give out on criminal record checks though.

Depends what the offense was really. If you got done for armed robbery then they're not likely to let you into an airport are they.

wounding is the worst one.others are drunk and disorderly,alarm harrassment + distress,criminal damage.
all of them were drink related and i was young and stupid.

has anyone actually seen these checks and what they contain?

[herthab]

Different offences stay on for different periods. I do these for licensing.

The longest period for an offence which resulted in a non custodial sentence is five years.

Here's how I understand it...

When you apply for a job you are quired by law to disclose criminal convinctions on the following basis

Code:

                                                                           People aged 18 or                People aged 17 
                                                                           overwhen convict                 and under when convicted 
Prison sentences of 6 months or less                                       7 years                           3 1/2 years 
Prison sentences of more than 6 months to 2 1/2 years                      10 years                          5 years 
Prison sentences of more than 2 1/2 years                                  Life                              Life
Borstal (abolished in 1983)                                                7 years                           7 years 
Detention centres (abolished in 1988)                                      3 years                           3 years 

Fines, probation, compensation,
community service, combination action plan,                                5 years                           2 1/2 years 
curfew orders,drug treatment and testing,
and reparation orders  
 
Absolute discharge                                                        6 months                          6 months 

Not sure if the same applies with the CRB check - I think a lot depends on the type of conviction and the type of job

I've got my CRB knocking around from my coaching days. I'll dig it out and let you know whats on there if thats of any use to you.
